Citizenship application dilemma, where to go from here? by Trabantlover
Ok, this is going to be a long post but I need to get this off my chest.I'm 30 years old, I am a dual Canadian and Bosnian national so I have two non-EU passports. I was actually born in Germany in 1994 when my parents came here as war refugees but ...
This is altogether bad luck. I am sorry for you!Here are some things to think of:You see Germany as temporary stopover ("I also don’t want to stay in Germany forever"). Citizenship is simply not meant for such cases.You do not fulfill the ... Read More

Well, it sounds a bit like a soap opera. Please come back and report how the next episode went! -@beppiMy next immediate step is finding out if the company is indeed shutting down operations and if they are, getting them to admit it to me because ... Read More

The situation described is so specialized and uncommon that it’s doubtful you’ll find anyone here with firsthand knowledge. From what I read you are merely speculating if you could be denied PR due to the situation. One can only answer; ... Read More
